Cabinet Painting in Murfreesboro, TN
Cabinet painting in Murfreesboro, TN keeps the doors you have and changes their color. It is the quickest and cheapest way to make a dated kitchen look new.
- Doors sprayed off site, frames masked and finished in place
- You are told exactly which paint goes on your doors
- We check what your doors are made of before we price the job
Tell us roughly how many doors and drawers there are and what they are made of. Someone comes out, counts them, and you get the number in writing.
Your cabinets will not peel, because the grease comes off first
Paint on a cabinet almost always fails where it meets the door, not from wear. So every face is degreased, scuff-sanded so the primer grips, and primed to suit what your doors are made of.
Door style the problem rather than the color? Cabinet refacing or cabinet door replacement. Grain to stay visible? Cabinet refinishing. Doors not sitting level? Cabinet repair. Every route priced side by side is on cabinet refacing cost in Murfreesboro; the rest is on the cabinet services hub.
No fee, no obligation.
A beadboard door takes longer to spray than a slab door at the same count
front elevation
The shape of the door decides how much surface there is to cover and how many edges, and those two decide the labor.
We paint almost every kitchen in Murfreesboro — the exception is shiny vinyl doors
Builders fitted a lot of those here around 2002. Nothing bonds to the vinyl, so where that is what you have, we price new fronts instead.
Paint does not stick to a vinyl-wrapped door
The trade calls them thermofoil: a shaped board with a thin vinyl skin pressed over it, and very common in kitchens built here around 2002. Nothing bonds to that skin, so paint put straight over one usually peels within months. We check on the visit, and where that is what you have, we quote new fronts instead of taking the painting job.
Damp air adds days before the finish is hard
Murfreesboro averages 70% relative humidity across the year and peaks at 74% in September. Finishes harden by losing water or solvent to the air, and damp air takes it more slowly, so a three-to-five day return to service quoted from a data sheet stretches in a humid week. We tell you that when we quote, instead of letting you find out.
The visit tells you which of these applies to your kitchen.
Your doors go back on the same day
The finish underneath is not hard enough for normal service for another three to five days. Both dates go on the quote.
- Same daydoors rehung once the paint is dry to handle
- Until thenno scrubbing, nothing taped to a door, no felt pads
- 3–5 daysfelt pads back on, drawers and shelves loaded normally

You can stop after the second step and it has cost you nothing.
We count the fronts and check what they are made of
Someone comes out, counts every door and drawer front, and confirms the doors will hold a finish.
You get the price in writing
One fixed price, with the door count, what is replaced, the finish system and the cure date on it. Ask us and every other quote for the Tennessee Home Improvement license — Rutherford County requires one from $3,000 up.

Fronts come off labeled to their openings and are sprayed flat away from the house; boxes and frames are masked and finished in place.
You get the cure date, not just the finish date
Doors rehung and aligned, hardware back on, site cleaned — and the day the finish is hard written down, not just the day it looks done.
Rehung same day · gentle use until then · normal service 3–5 days
